His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors. So their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores. And send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children? to live in fear and be a slave. Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right, We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, And wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, What would be your answer if he called out from the grave, to dill the land of the free? and good evening ladies and gentlemen this is the evening intelligence report i'm our currently and i'm done butcher one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines and occupied territories west south and northeast ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us liberty tree radio dot four m g dot com indiana free talk radio dot com running about the micro station cv base stations and ultra net technologies east and west of the mississippi along with alaska hallmark network from the top of main to the bottom of florida from above all the first article from mexico and we can't mississippi texas arkansas oklahoma big jump in a brassica whole bunch of wyoming to include both third pit the fifth and our friends in the recall state of colorado Waving the left coast with the great state of Jefferson and many other friends out there on the Pacific side of the Rockies, we turn back to the sweep across the plains over the Mississippi and land in the Smokies with the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work a million petticoat junction operators. Well, it's dark outside. It's drippily wet. It's raining, but it's not really hard rain. It's random. and misty to drippy. Here's the best way to describe it. Here where we are, Donald's like in your neck of the woods. What's the day today? What's jumping off the wall up there, please? Oh, it is the sixth day of November, year of our Lord 2014. If the sun were still up, maybe vision you'd have half a mile, maybe at the most. And it's the same conditions, Mark. The atmosphere is so wet. You couldn't call it fog. It's just dense. But again, you know, hey, that's what at least it's not snow. Shoot up some flares and say because you know, things are going to get a lot harder if you have to deal with, you know what I'm talking about in the snow. It'll be a lot harder to move in short term and be able to do that without sure of where you're going. The point in, you know, well, be thankful you don't have snow yet. A week ago this past, well, a week ago tomorrow, Mark, they were shoveling snow. out of Cadillac which is like 50 miles north of me from the business sidewalks in the morning and they show it on television so it must have been true. Yeah of course well that doesn't mean you stick around because it really hasn't frozen enough yet so we get it and then it goes and then we're going to get it again. Doesn't mean it's going to come back. Not a matter of just a matter of when. You know Mark, even if you're laying tracks on the ground, that seems like that's the worst thing you can do. Oh my gosh, they'll find us now. Even if you're laying tracks on the ground, if you can find a way to use that to your advantage, which is one of the things we're going to explain now, because this is Basics 101, and everybody knows this, that looks in this arena for any amount of time. Hey, they're going this way. I see their tracks in the snow and everybody starts to follow the tracks. The tracks aren't real spread, real distant like they're running as fast as they can, but you can tell they're moving pretty good. They're trying to out distance their pursuer. Again, we've talked about being able to see for a good distance. Glass might be a help in this instance just for that and see how close they are. We see any indicator that they can see us right now as we make our left or right turn the first part of the fish hook or the J maneuver, whatever you want to call it. Because what you're going to do is, man, they're following your tracks in the snow, aren't they? And to openly talk about this is going to make every blue shirt, every brown shirt, every black shirt, every guy with as much stinking snow camouflage on it as he can carry. Think twice about it. Because I'm going to follow this guy's tracks in the snow. I know exactly where he's going. Well, that works real good. And you're pretty safe if it's a gunfight. In fact, you might be safer if it's a gunfight because you know what? He sticks his head up every now and then and you're looking in that direction and you might shoot him before he shoots you. Might. But if you're intent on following those tracks and your opponent can out distance you to the extent that he can step off of the trail and double back along the trail and set up that ambush, following those tracks in the snow can most certainly bring about a pursuer's end. So do not fear the snow. Again, if you can learn to use the surroundings to your advantage. That's just one example, isn't it Mark? And again, remember guys, technology, well first part about using any technology or any technique is developing the skill with what? Your mind. Always, always. Your mind is your first best weapon. But perfecting the concept, understanding and developing it, and then perfecting it physically, step by step people, there is a logical process to developing any of the skills we're talking about. It's not that you can't do it. You just have to apply yourself right from the get-go with a positive attitude that we will accomplish the task. That's something I wanted to point out. Well, I don't want to go any farther because you're on the track right now, Don. Exactly. Thank you for that word. Go right ahead, Jim. Because you know what? A good tracker is going to look at that track in the snow and he'll be able to judge roughly how fast that man or that group of men is moving. By weight and application, even if it's no shoes, whatever it is that's using, perhaps even to mask the force. Again, a number of people. Tracking in a line is of course one of the reasons we're doing that is to disguise your overall strength. But that's where perfecting your skills comes in to understand the re-application of energy in an area. and judging the conditions because it's also a matter of how recent the track, just because there's multiple tracks in a line, doesn't mean they were all made the same moment or within the same few minutes. It could be multiple use by the same individual and that's where understanding the conditions and the composition of the material that you're studying when you're tracking is very important. How do you know there are 10 of them? Well, let me explain to you. And then you go through the process of trying to explain how the applied energy conditions of the melt, other tracks which appear to be perhaps part of the same pack when in reality they were applied earlier, there's been additional melt, they've frozen in place. Some people just assume, you've got to remember, you've got to be able to read the tracking process too. Go ahead, please. Thank you. Even the man that's, so to speak, hot on your trail, he hears that twig snap just around it, or whatever. Anything that he knows, there's that indicator that they were just there. A muddy track that hasn't filled with water yet is an indicator that that which is being pursued is not too far ahead. a track in the mud or a track in the snow in a place where it might fill completely with water but it isn't filled with water yet. Subtleist little indicators like that. But now let's go back to that quick move because you see you know they it almost looks and I'm going to refer to it and we've talked about different means of locomotion that turkey trot we've talked about that the British officers reporting that why those enemy troops were moving in a strange way. An ungainly way. That was the term. Yes. Gangly and ungainly way or method. But now, I'd like you to take some time because, you know, your parents taught you how to walk, didn't they? They sure did, and most of us, they did a pretty good job of it. Some of us can walk better than others, but once we learn that, we just generally don't pay too much more attention to it because, man, we're walking, we're out there in the world, and we're having fun, and we're going places, aren't we? Sometimes we pay attention to where we put our feet, and sometimes if we're in different arenas, we know that we have to do that. But if you're being pursued in sand or snow, now, sand is a harder thing to do. If you're being snow is a pretty crisp print. Let's continue along this line. The distance between this print left foot, that print right foot, this print left foot is going to tell a pursuer how fast his prey is moving, whether it's a cat, a dog, a deer, a moose, or a human being. If a man's running as fast as he can and the snow's an inch deep, just enough to leave that perfect print, and he's got just the right shoes on that he doesn't slip, he can run as fast as his foot, his footprint might be seven or eight feet apart. One foot, left foot, right foot. Eight, maybe even nine feet apart. Now that might be a little bit off, but a running man sure has a long stride, doesn't he? In fact, there's a time when both his feet are in the air. That's called running. When you're in a walking contest, you see and it looks all so funny and there's all kinds of words you could put there, but you think running contest originated in San Francisco. You know where I'm the lean there. The thing about a walking contest, that's what I wanted to talk about originating in San Francisco. When you see real fast walkers, the whole stipulation there is you do not... One foot is always on the ground. Now that one foot is always on the ground limits the stride, doesn't it? And if you want to fool your pursuer in a... print of snow that's not real deep because we could talk about angle of approach and all kinds of things that Mark's talked about, just referenced. Oh, we could do this for days. We literally could, but if you can learn to walk one foot on the ground, the next foot is on the ground, as the other is curling off and the toe is leaving, the other heel is striking and coming down. If you can learn to walk fast across a medium stride, walk fast like that, you can fool your pursuer to think he will be upon you in just a little while because you are not moving very fast and his strides are long and he's, in fact, he might turn to what used to be referred to as a flying column to send someone forward to intercept these people that we are trying to catch. Fear the snow. Don't think that it's the end and it's the worst thing and it's going to be here. Well, you know, that goes back over to another thing and we referenced this earlier in the day because we didn't reference this portion right here, but we'll get to this. You know, they talk about the fighting season in Afghanistan. And it's a lot worse in Afghanistan than it was even in portions of, you know, Iraq. There's times when the people would just as soon sit at home because they know that whole other tribe there doesn't want to get out all their horses and camels and make them move through the snow and get out there to such a place where they would be moving so slow that they would be easily picked off by someone in just the right place or a group in the right place. So snow can become such a hindrance, but in that 6 inch and above, a tracker is going to start to look at the angle and the way the foot goes in and the way the foot comes out to determine speed too. If you start to get into deeper snow, that fast walk will be harder to describe or rather harder to disguise. But again, you guys, it can be used to your advantage. Don't think that I've got to stay in the city or I have to move cross country on the blacktop because I don't want to leave one footprint in the snow. Why, they'll catch me for certain. Okay, past that, aren't we? Yes, we are. I yield to you, Mark. Again, one of the most important things are our deception technology is used also. If you have any way of softening your print, obviously the more compacting the material, the more likely you're going to have difficulty breaking up the pattern. But remember, anytime you can, for instance, rag cover your feet. Burlap rag, which is to tie knots of cloth to the base, these become foot wraps that go over the boots. We mentioned snowshoes, another thing that again, while it applies a certain amount of energy, also is good for spreading out the impact of your foot into the snow, spreading energy out. Remember if it's dusty, if it's blowing, it's more likely to be filled faster if you're not creating a crevasse or more of a deep strike. These are all techniques and even the old brush routine, brushing off or brushing up the area that you have passed through if you can get to harder or... That falls on the average eye and many times that is what you are up against. The majority of the people are not that adept a tracker, but the other thing too is it depends on environment. We're in a pretty northern climb here with a lot of shifting weather like we've even seen the last few days. These waves of weather with them comes waves of energy. We get wind and we get breathing, all the sucking and blowing of the Great Lakes. Well, that creates a lot of movement. If it's bitter cold, if you're cold dry, as long as you don't break up the surface extensively, what's going to happen is you end up with a situation whereby you can probably do a pretty good job of deceiving or misdirecting your motion. The weather takes care of it itself, but the important thing is, again, Paying attention to the terrain, not breaking or disrupting any more than absolutely necessary. Taking advantage of screening from above, especially tree cover, brush lines, hard surface areas. It's tougher to walk on ice, but if you have ice crampons, which of course by the way, we got a bunch of those. Remember the Polish ones? Some of you guys listening use them because I picked them up. I had the Polish and Czech models we got for almost nothing a few years ago. We distribute as many of those as we can. Remember that creates a cleat that allows you to move across surfaces that otherwise even in mountaineering operations because you do have ice at altitude. A lot of it. Be able to move across an area which of course unless they're really paying attention which they will. A good tracker will notice the cleat marks. But even there it takes a lot more work to identify the activity and the motion. Plus, you're able to move across the surface that typically people are not prepared to move across. The lions share the critters that are going to go in the field are not properly equipped for the environment because their logic is Either something's going to pick them up and move them by wheel or they're going to get to fly over it or whatever. When it gets into actual field tracking, the majority of the tools that would be useful, especially if somebody else is better prepared, typically won't be in the hands of your enemy. They're not going to be ready for, again, all of the environment. And they might correct that down the road. But remember, if you're a step ahead thinking the process through, you're at a big advantage right off the bat. The man equipped with the cleat, the group equipped with the cleat, Mark talks about, crampons, compared to the group equipped with the boot. Even a good snow boot, if the group with the boot is chasing across particular areas, ice and whatnot, it would be a sad day if the guys with the cleats could not out distance and perform the aforementioned earlier in the hour maneuvers to create the ambush and eliminate the... that's a politically correct way. In fact, in a snow environment or a snow ice environment, having all the tools in hand, again, you're not moving that fast in the environment, but you're moving faster than your aggressor. Yes. It's the old story. It's kind of like, see, cold weather operations are slow motion, despite what everybody thinks. There are hurried actions, and sure as hell, you get out of the line of a bullet before it gets you. That's critical. But, I would point out having talked to and worked with a lot of guys who were in the Korean War, for instance, as I've said a million times, in cold weather speed kills guys building up calories. You have to move to get out of the line of fire, but you try to avoid excessive motion. A lot of guys that I know that were at the Choson Reservoir related this story before. There was a mad dash to try and get to best terrain. But when the Choson Reservoir siege began, when the Marines were first cut off, and one of our friends, the son's the same age I am. His dad was one of the Frozen Chosons. What he described is basically the Chinese, the lead elements, were trying to cut the Marines off, and they did. And so they ended up stuck his, for instance, his unit got stuck on a hillock, not like one of the typical Korean mountains slash hills that you see, but more of a basically a bump on a piece of terrain, but they got there first. Well, the Chinese that had been trying to cut them off were able to break, or block, or at least create the human block that they needed. But because they had run in that sub-zero weather, it was a running race. The Koreans and the Chinese that had done that were in their cold weather, the typical lifeguard gear, like it's insulated, like it's inflatable, like a life raft vest basically. Remember it's corrugated, those are K-POC is what they are guys. Well that's all they pretty much had with not a whole lot of clothing underneath. and they couldn't take it off, but they also were soaked. Within three days, the Chinese were trying to surrender because they were dying. Frostbite. And they first got frost, first they froze, and then he said they stank. He goes, they were rotting in their clothes. There's the gang green. And they were trying to surrender, and they weren't anything the Marines could do with them. They didn't put up any fight. They literally were dying by inches, rotting in their own gear. A hand, a finger, a foot at a time. Yeah, and that was the whole unit. Now, there were other Chinese to come along and kill you, but those Chinese that they'd initially faced, they were across, they were dug in. They dug themselves in as best they could, but the weather was horrific, and it was just as terrible for the offensive group as it was for the Marines defending. In fact, probably worse, because they had less cover. That was one of the things he remembers. When they attacked, they attacked in forests. They killed Chinese like there was no tomorrow. He points out that that night after the first attack, there was nothing to burn. Korea was stripped. There were no forests in Korea. He remembers taking all these captured Mausers that obviously had come from Europe. He says, man, you would never believe some of the rifles. We grabbed the rifle stocks and we'd throw them and made fire with rifle stocks. Wow, and we'd have these like spoon mousers that obviously were captured from Germany probably in World War two and they've been handed down from the Communists in Russia over to the Chinese and Here's all these mousers is every kind of mouser you can imagine he goes we were burned like cordwood And he goes he was just pieces of art you go some of them were just amazing you look at them and go yeah Well, it's gonna keep me warm tonight And of course, it was another way to make sure they also didn't get the rifles back either because they weren't going to carry them out. Right. So it worked for, you know, two reasons. And of course, they weren't sure that they were going to get out. Sparched earth and warm hands. Yep. So again, guys, this bit, you know, it's a slow motion dance for a reason where you've got to remember in cold weather operations, you have to constantly be thinking. And that's tough because a lot of people don't like to think. And those people will get other people hurt. It's just like what I was talking about earlier during the two hour block in the afternoon here about carrying extra cold weather gear. We have had a real Michigan winter here this last year, but so do the rest of the country. It looks like we're going to get the same thing. We've got all the moisture. Just think all this wet and all this moisture we've been getting if it was snow. So far we haven't had the cold because of the solar flares. But those solar flares were predictable and if you go to the farmer's almanac you find it pretty much everything the farmer's almanac written up so far Has been right on the money to even include talking about the cyclic solar flare activity There is nothing that has been a surprise nothing So the important thing is carry spares understand that you're still going to have to move and fight avoid open terrain Obviously. I mean, that's the first rule. Your eye should constantly be looking for, at the very least, whatever role in the terrain that you can find. It doesn't have to be much, but the idea is to get out of sight wherever possible so you are not on the horizon, you are not out in the middle of something. And even if you have to move through areas like that, you disperse You don't cluster up. All the things that you see that they try to show you. See the feudal resist? All this BS footage you see from Iraq or Afghanistan. Well those are the odd man out because otherwise they'd be showing you image after image after image and tons of them. And you notice they only show selective images. And there's a reason for that. Because the ones that are not so adept or slow at getting uptake, well they're the casualties. But you know what, we still have them keep coming at us and killing us and they seem to be able to make contact and do it right every once in a while. So obviously not all of them are stupid. They always try to show you that one character standing out in the middle of wherever because you see them building the earth. Really? Well if that cast the case and they're all dumb, the war should have been over about three days, right? We shouldn't have been over there for eight years, right? So, whenever you see that BS or that kind of propaganda, put that in proper perspective. And remember, in full order, if you use the terrain and you use the tools at hand, the technology isn't that much of a leg up. Even just that which is most plainly seen, like a foot. Yep, exactly. So, we need to be thinking ahead on this process. Go ahead, Dom, please. We're in front of an error by the way too, so night vision technology, you have it sir. Okay, call her, give me a moment. Hey you guys, if you want to see in the dark, I'm stealing that from Joe in the morning. My phone number is 231-796-8458. We've got goggles and gun sights and green screens and thermal, first generation gun sight at $490 right in your mailbox. That's a finite supply you guys. If you want to get on that bus, it's going to leave soon. But we won't have a whole lot more of them. My number is 2317968458. We can go up from there to a second generation gun site to power right in your mailbox. 308 capable, it will grab onto your weaver or your one inch rail, you know, your weaver or your picatinny, your seven eighths or your one inch off, it's a purpose built gun site. and it'll thumbscrew right down onto either one of the aforementioned rails and I will put that right in your mailbox for $1,245. My phone number is 231-796-8458. Again, 231-796-8458. Thank you, Mark. I think we've got a caller waiting. And call or jump in there, please. Yes, you were one of the things, West Desert, one of the things that I found that if you get one of these cheap You take the handle off of it, make sure that the broom has been used a little bristle start. Instead of sweeping, it leaves a more natural pattern. If you sweep left and right, you're going to leave long striations. And one other thing to kind of the shift the sideline. With all the news that everybody seems to want to talk about, and one thing that I haven't heard anybody talk about, errand on election day, while everybody was worried about election returns, drops 3000 documents to the investigation. had to surrender it. In fact, his logic is he's out the door, so somehow he's going to get some kind of exoneration. that I cannot see any reason or any possibility that they should even be allowed to slide sideways but watch and see. The kosher blackmail team will be out there in force because otherwise this character should be going to jail. Oh, the same thought line. You can't charge me for robbing banks. I haven't done that in a while. Yeah, exactly. I only got a bunch of a bunch of border patrol personnel killed but not that many. And not lately. Yeah, and not recently. Not while I was at work for it. We stopped doing it. We got somebody else doing it. Because that's exactly the mindset. Everybody out there that thinks that's a good defense, raise your hand. I don't see anybody raising their hand. The other thing here coming up too is again, they've already of course are yapping about another female or a female and of course it has to be black. Because if it isn't black it wouldn't be the Obama administration, don't you know? Nobody is asking the right question about that one, of course. So why is this part being brought in? Well, obviously the character is going to be willing to follow. The person would not be considered that they are going to be following the same orders as Holder with regard to not following through on anything. That would be the criteria for that person being hired in the first place, no matter who the hell it is. You did hear the documents from that scenic Well, no, I'm excused. In July of 2018, that was the Information Act, and that was another earlier this year that they had run illegal aliens. These two deputies in California a week or so ago, I wonder if that's another. I hate to distract talking about this. Oh, it's one of those we missed, because that's one we've seen a little blurb upon, but I haven't seen any follow-up on that as far as they've got the guy. Yeah, well, this may be some of the questions that somebody needs to file a Freedom of Information Act inside. what was going on because you know in this information out of the phoenix when this whole stuff that now all of us now you've got it pop up in other places in the country well the interesting thing is we pointed out is the fact that you know if anybody else if you were i did this and dragged our feet like you know i am like we've seen they'd have done everything their power to castrate lobotomize you That's what I'm fascinated by across the board with this nonsense, and it's like you know here here. We are in a situation where The the critters involved because well after all there their minority and they could do no wrong is basically what the the liberal shite yours have been pushing And I can for life of me again. Well. I can't we can everybody's pretty well sitting writing on the wall I think everybody pretty well understands what this scam is all about as far as using these meat puppets, be it holder or old bummer or the next piece of trash coming in. It will be the CYA. for the rest of their criminal actions that are being covered until they can slide out the door sideways and then they'll do what they've done with one of these administrations. Well, whatever criminal actions they were involved in, it's all part of the past. And the latest word we're hearing over and over again is, can't we just let that all sit? We've got to get past that now. We've got to move forward, be progressive, fill in the blank. Read that they got away with their criminal activity and we got to try and turn a blind eye because they want to plug it in again and that's what happened from from the Clintonistas to the Bushites to the Obama rights lashes the Toro crew Over and you know this last three groups and of course now they're trying to push a bush You know a gem boy that dynamic and exciting leadership of a Jeb Bush Don't you know one step away from you know bumping along only soggy Well, a soggy bump on a log. And Hillary the Hutt, you know, Chubba the Hutt's third younger sister. Wow, what a set to look forward to in the 2016 fake pain. It sure as hell isn't a campaign. Fake pain maybe campaign, no. Anyway, a couple of things going on before we get any farther. Again, one more time, Don. Night vision technology. You have it. We're going to need it. How can we get hold of you? And what do we have left in the system here real quick? Well, I don't have current numbers on that for power, but I know we've got a number, a small number of them left. So I can put one of those in your mailbox for $390. My phone number is 231-968458. Goggles or gun sights, you guys. Green screens or thermal? I have a piece of thermal handheld fit in your cargo pocket. Fit and sit in your mailbox for $1895. My phone number is 2317968458. I've got a second generation viewer. It's not real dinky, but for a second generation device, its performance is very... It'll come with an illuminator if you need it. Boom, thumb screw down onto it. Your mailbox for $980. My phone number is 2317968458. There is something I want to touch on and we still got most of 20 minutes left and I've heard a couple more dings. Do we have any other callers that might want to come in? Okay, we're going to run with this one for a little while. I started to talk about this very morning, touched on it just a little while ago, because let's go back to snow, you guys. Let's go back to, you know, you don't have that little place in the roof, you know, that little cubby hole to call yours up there in the loft, you know, and what was going to be an attic. And now you're up there sleeping like, Japanese coffin hotel. But hey, it beats sleeping outside. It beats sleeping in a snow shelter. Do you know if you start to get snow deep and it's frozen and it's so you get snow that can be you know you can cut it into chunks. You know you don't just start cutting in chunks and stacking it on the snow, don't ya? You know, did you know that a piece of string, a 20 foot piece of string would be a real and something to you know pound down like a rod or a spike to pound down into the where you want the center of your igloo to be would be a real great thing because when you start giving when you go to a set perimeter that circumference and you start lowering that string and cutting out blocks See the angles that you're cutting if you lower the center of the string and not the outside, you lower the outside only enough so you know that you're on firmament in this. But guess what, while you're cutting those blocks out, you're cutting them at an angle so they will support. And that's how Esso's nice little semi-round dough and they look almost scientifically symmetrical because he had a piece of string and his father taught him how to do that. Now, a step up from an igloo, you guys, if you can get into a cave or something, that's really cool, man, because now you're using that subterranean heat, particularly if you can seal off the front a bit, but don't seal your breath as in the cave and you die because of, you know, high CO2 content and everybody's nose is pink and you're wondering why, because you're delirious. And your cheeks are just so rosy. Well, that's an indicator if you get into a real cold place and you shut off the cold infiltration of air trying to stay warm and you're breathing out the last of the oxygen. Frank over there, he was, and Barbara and John and his wife, I can't remember her name, but all of their faces are just glowing red and man, my forehead hurts. Man, my forehead hurts. Those are all pretty good warnings that your oxygen short in your area that you've tried to cut off from the cold air Really and truly if you're experiencing that you're on the edge of dying now Let's go back to something a little more comfortable a little more mobile than an igloo far more mobile than a cake we talked just for a moment about Pitching a tent inside a tent and that kind of sounds stoop. It really kind of does There are ways to do this and other people's, I'm not certain it's the Mongols that use earth mark, aren't they, U-R-T-S earth works? Yeah, I believe that's it. At any rate, you know, tomato, tomato. You guys, when they pitch a tent, there is a layer of cloth on the inside and the tent ribs are big enough that when they lay and fasten the layer of cloth on the outside, they don't talk. They've created that vapor barrier. You ever go camping in the winter time in a tent and you wake up in the winter time? I'm not talking about fall or spring and sometimes it will happen to you in the fall or spring, but in the dead of winter, have you ever done that just as what one might call personal challenge or just for the experience? You close that tent up and you crawl into your sleeping bag and man you don't even take your socks off Do you man you just crawl it because everything's so cold and by the time the sleeping bag warms up you might you know Weasel that shirt off without getting out of the sleeping bag But you don't even take the shirt out of a sleeping bag these don't want it to get too cold when you put it on in the morning But when you wake up in the morning, man There's frost and there's ice on the inside of the tent just from your breath now it happens quicker the smaller the tent to be sure But you know what? When you put that tent inside a tent, that frost doesn't set inside your tent. And I'm not telling you to build a ute. You don't have to do that. But if you have to pitch a tent, if you can stand another almost ceiling over it, tarps and others, that stand off of it, you're going to stay a lot warmer. And you will stay, you know how you wake up in the winter time? Well, if you wake up. When you wake up in the morning, this is a better thing, isn't it? But you know how you wake up in the wintertime if you've been in that tent for all night? And literally, there might even be ice on the tent walls from your breath, from what is condensed out of the air. But where that hasn't turned to ice, it's turned to what? You avoid that all when you pitch a tent inside a tent. Now, you guys, if we talked earlier about big wall tents, the big army tents, now there's a lot, I'm not certain you're going to get this same effect unless you, again, stop a lot of the air, because you're going to have a great big area around a little area. But if you pitch a big tent like that and pitch a small number of tents inside it, you're almost guaranteed every one of those tents is going to be a lot warmer than if, if these are gimmies, you guys, look at the big extra insulation. But look at the waste of floor space. So again, you know, there's get what you can and there's trade-offs and you give a little, get a little. But to again, as mentioned earlier, to wake up in the morning instead of freeze to death in the night, I'm told you can be so cold you just, it doesn't, you don't even wake up. You just go to sleep and you never wake up. And that's all you were, that's all she wrote. Yep. So you know, you guys, if you want to wake up to dry socks, there are solutions to that. up the standard pup tents as we know them guys and I can't stress enough that it is such a simple process if you have the extra ponchos which you should be carrying each man should carry two US ponchos one shelter half one poncho should be hooked up on your 1956 fanny pack butt pack whatever you want to call it nowadays they've got a comparable device that they make that is a molly item Well, you strap it to the bottom underneath that. However you're going to do it, the one poncho stays with you as a field item with your combat load. Now, there are some people that argue against that nowadays or are in favor of it. I really don't care which way you go, but the bottom line is if you're going to use or if you want to, especially in this cold weather, utilize a lot of the technology that's pretty inexpensive but still works well. The USGI pump tents were designed to handle all weather conditions, but canvas is actually in many ways a lot more desirable for winter operations. Nylon is light and I know all about lightweight and this and that. You don't have to tell me about it. I understand lightweight technology. But if you take the standard US shelter half, put two of them together, use the US poncho as one of them, the extras of the two that you carry, as a ground cloth, the other man who carries his second poncho uses it as a do cover. You eliminate, number one, create a better insular layer and you create a moisture, a preventing moisture layer that helps to reduce calorie loss from the outside and moisture building up and pulling from the outside in. Which is another thing that everybody needs to remember and take into consideration when you're looking at cold weather operations. As far as the dew factor goes on the inside, well that has to do with the fact that every time you exhale, Don, we have moisture that we're pushing out with those breaths, aren't we? This is the worst part of your life. Another little trick that's part of the process is to actually use a face cover. Now we're not talking about, actually like the I've noticed how before we were in the Middle East, we always used to be able to go to war without an Arab Kerchief, but now you just don't have your act together if you don't have an Arab Kerchief. Have you noticed that? Well, actually you can fight quite well without them. We've done that for years. But they are kind of handy in that again remember what you're doing is alleviating a certain amount of that air moisture by collecting it in a situation where it's not necessarily going to freeze up. Now you still want to stand off. You want to bunch it up and cinch everything close to your face. But consider that that moisture, that elimination of that particular amount of moisture, pushed into the air, is that frost build up that to a degree you get. Your body temperature is 98.6. Your thermal layers, depending on the sleeping bag or the blanket system you use, is going to allow for a certain amount of dissipation of energy. That's part of the formula. But you're not going to lose that much in the way of moisture from the body through your normal, poor process. Your body breathes, guys, but it doesn't spit out moisture like that. It's through exhalation that that takes place. So there are things that we need to do to, again, help to reduce that problem because that is part of the moisture buildup issue also when it comes to carrying weight and also trying to heat things back up later. You have to pack up some time and move. I thought these socks would be dry. Yeah, exactly. And that is part of the general formula. A lot of people, they don't necessarily think about or don't consider when they're looking at how things work in the field. Cold weather operations, again, moisture kills. but we generate moisture and the environment itself is nothing but water. All that white stuff out there is H2O. Now we apply more calories, we get more of the fluid version. Unfortunately, because of the temperature, it doesn't last that way for very long. So however we bring it up to temp, 98.6, internally, and then back out, well it doesn't take long past the point of exit from that body for the temperature shift to be pretty radical pretty fast. In other words, it drops real quick. That, of course, creates an accumulation of, well, it increases cooling surface if it stays with you. Remember, frost, ice, cold, transfer of calories, reduction in body temperature. These are all part of the formula and why you have to, what we said earlier, think through everything that you do in the field. One thing that was mentioned here earlier, face masks, Arctic face masks. There's a lot of different ones that are out there that are surplus. One is white. It was designed for extreme cold weather conditions. It comes with replacement. Oh, they look like dust masks, guys. And they're Velcro fitted to the front of your face. You know what they're for? Dealing with the very thing that we're talking about. Moisture buildup. You have that little dust mask area. You take that off. It's loaded. You put the other one on where it fits in with the Velcro. and you dry the other one out. You don't throw them away. You can't afford to. And you decide you believe in a trail. Yeah, the cookie treats you leave are the things the tractor is following. So we carry everything with us if at all possible. It's difficult again for some people to actually develop that discipline. But it is a high priority, especially under these battlefield conditions. Again, replacements, replacements, replacements. The one thing you'll notice I've talked about whenever we've been talking about these situations in cold weather is redundancy in spares, socks, mitten liners, glove liners, face covers, and even head gear. We haven't talked about watch caps, but anything in the way of a stocking cap. Acrylic is light, but acrylic won't load up as much with moisture, but it also won't retain as much heat. A wool watch cap or wool headgear is priceless. About 90% of your body heat drives right out the top of your head. It goes right out the chimney, kids. That's why your brain is where it is. Let's use that configuration of chimney. You guys, if you come across grandpa's, this is something almost to wrestle with, but grandpa's felt bibs from when he's hunting. They're like overalls. Blue jean overalls, he was the guy that double-lots by on Beverly. He'd always wear bibs, but you can get those in like three-quarters of an inch thick wool. and they come from your ankles all the way up almost to your chin, bibs. And in the winter time you guys, if you're having to sit somewhere, that's almost like you brought your house with you. Really, the horse bit is a hoodie top, sweat tops. Yeah, a couple of those are good and then you put that over your hat your stocking hat with your baseball cap or you're wearing on top of that Tighten that down and put your other hood around here be nice and warm Keep that draft down from down your neck another cold infiltration. Yep Matter of fact, I should point out I was talking about the Austrian gear recently again One of the things that came in with all this Austrian OD green equipment are some really well-built bib winter pants. You have to keep an eye out for them. I haven't really seen sportsman's guide offering them. They might. They are very, very reasonably priced on the wholesale end at about $13 to $16. We are talking brand new or used but like new. Between those and like you said using the sweats, a lot of people use the sweats. which are an extension of the whole idea of a woolen, what we used to call woolens or long johns. We get into that discussion back and forth that, well, we don't use long johns, I use sweats. Well, sweats in reality are just the, shall we say, the of the old Long Johns used to be built. A long time ago they were regulated literally to the gyms. And where they got the idea for them from is simply the outer surface, the outer way that they're finished. If you get any of the old Long Johns, guys, we have the Swedish ones. A lot of you guys have several dozen pairs of these because they bought them from us. We bought out one of the companies, and these were all pre-World War II Swedish long johns. Well, most everybody realized these are woolens. And not only that, but I swear to God, the percentage have to have silk in them. Because having handled so much material and having handled a lot of silk, these things are highest quality. Hell, they were made in 1938, and it looks like they were built yesterday. The incredibly, you know, again, virgin wool, very well built, much heavier, typically in the sweats design that everybody's familiar with now in terms of the pattern of the cloth, you know, the density of the weave. But guys, that's where they got the idea from. I mean, I am sure, because most all of the traditional long johns, as I know them, especially the World War II and pre-World War II stuff, is very different from the thinner basket weave or the net weave that you are familiar with. It is hugged closer to the body. What they were doing there is trying to get less material to do more. That is why they built them the way they did and why everybody is so familiar with them the way they are in modern times with our cut. But if you go back and look at the old Union suits, there is another example. Those are a woolen. Oh yeah. Original Union suits basically are like the sweats. One piece. Like adult size onesies. But the material is... Because you're an adult. Yeah, the quality of the material though is much, much higher than what we're used to. I mean, what we see, you know, it's like everything else. And in fact, even when you look at Long John's, I mean, most of what we're seeing now, if you're buying new, is Made in China. Come on, guys. They're thinning out the material by the day. Look at Walmart. So, the sweats are a good choice. I grab all of those that I can. We have a couple of church sales. When they have at the end of the sale, everything is free. You know what I do? I just go in with a cart and anything and everything that is OD green, gray, or if it is any kind of sweats or any kind of sweater, it goes with me. They get boxed up and they are itemized by size. I try to separate first by color and I also then itemize by size. So I make bundle packs up. So if you were to show up, I have everything to put you into some nice t-shirts, some nice sweats, some nice shirts, good sets of pants, EAM, typically six pocket. It's all clothing that's technical, if at all possible. But at the very least, it's all good clothing in that what I'm looking at outside is I've got to keep you warm. I've got to do this. We're getting real close to the top of the hour, but let's get to the bottom of things. Have you ever tried to do some of the things that come naturally outside in the wintertime? I mean, you know, I have to walk over there and do the things that the bear does in the woods. Right. They did put a flap in those Union suits for a reason. That's a skill set unto itself. Oh yeah. And a significant issue there, everybody's going to have to be prepared to deal with too. It's one of those other things that we don't think about. Try it sometime guys, especially with these weather conditions coming up over there. We're going to see a regular Michigan winter again. The other thing, and I know we're at the top. Guys, another thing that I have to agree with somebody said, you know, that we were so used to the chemtrail slash the chemical dispersion, what we're seeing right now with the solar flares, the light doesn't seem right. And you know what it is? There's more light coming through the screening that they've created to alter the environment. And so what the problem is, we're getting the amount of light we normally used to get before we had the chemtrails. That's why things don't look right. Even right now when you go outside, even though we've got cloud cover, during the day the light doesn't look right. Now for the last week and a half we've had major solar flares and yesterday was no different. Yesterday you couldn't look at the sun. You couldn't glance at the sun, guys. Try it. If we get blue sky tomorrow, try to glance at the sun. Normally you can at least do it like a squinty eye and stare at it for a bit. I don't recommend you doing that all the time, but you know you can do it. Well, right now, no. It doesn't happen. In fact, everybody, I'd say, did you have you looked at the sun lately? Last few days. Oh, man, that hurt! And that was just to try and put your eye towards it. Well, it's because of the amount of, you know, the energy being generated there, and your ocular collectors have been adapted to another environment. In general, I think it's very fascinating, but it's something that is very true. It's an observation we need to pay attention to. In cold weather with clear like that, guys, the surface of the ground is covered with what color? Y'all better prepare, be prepared to protect your eyes. The Eskimos know this while I'm warning you in advance. One of the reasons why even first generation is priceless at night when there is snow on the ground. to limit the amount of light you collect because that light up above like we're talking with the solar flare activity combined with that white reflective surface, guys, it hurts. It really will. If you're out there nonstop and you're going to be traveling, you've got to be thinking ahead on these things. Anyway, we're at the top and we're thinking ahead. It's dark outside. Don, your number for night vision, please. Hey, if you want to talk about goggles or gun sights, green screens or thermal, my number is 23179684. 58231796, 8458. Oh, is what we're looking at.
